He received the award September 6, 2012 during the 36th Annual School Law Conference held by the Arizona School Boards Association.

Mr. Richardson was the seventh recipient of the award, which is given yearly to an Arizona attorney whose outstanding contributions to Arizona public education merit high distinction.
